"The Tempest"

Here's the original collage I did for class. We were instructed to create a piece of "fragmented art" and then draw it onto a larger piece of paper. The end result is not to scale since the original college is on an 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper and the large version is two inches wider:

A sort of self-portrait. It was damaged near the t in "mohabbat" by a hole the size of a finger...

"Bast and servants on papyrus"

A gift for my dad one year for Christmas.
